Recently we covered the Edifier MR3 studio monitor bookshelf speaker deal, which should give you a great flat sound experience (except for the deeper bass notes) for just $100. You can check out the deal in its dedicated article here.
However, some may prefer headphones instead. In that case, the Sennheiser HD 599 SE is another great offer for the same price of $100, making it a very good offer (purchase link under the specs table down below). The bass response on the unit is, of course, going to be better than what you get with the MR3.

The HD 599 SE uses an open‑back construction. That means sound passes through the earcups rather than being sealed in, which creates a more spacious listening experience but also allows outside noise in. For anyone who listens in a quiet room, this trade‑off can be worthwhile. The earcups are fitted with large velour pads, and the headband is padded to reduce pressure over long sessions. Both pads and cables are replaceable, which extends the product’s usable life.
Sennheiser includes two detachable cables: a shorter one for portable devices and a longer one for home setups. That flexibility avoids the need for adapters and makes it easier to move between different sources. The headphones also use a lightweight frame, so they don’t feel heavy during extended use.
